Server Permissions and CHMOD

Ok, i have a php image uploading script

I chmod'ed the folded where the images are being uploading to 777

when a user trys to upload the Server is not allowing it, and simply wont upload the file

i have full root access to the server, how can i change the permission on the server to allow uploading to the server? thanks

Are anonymous logins being used to connect to the server? Are the connections being made through the browser? What is changing directories to the incoming folder after the login is complete?

is the folder owned by root? (check with ls -l on the command line and execute it in the folder where your uploads folder resides, so if you wanted to upload to /var/www/html/uploads , you'd cd to /var/www/html and run ls -l
if the folder is owned by root, try changing ownership to another user which could be done by the chown command.
